But few people are fully aware OF the
immense proportions which tho commune
bad taken on before its final suppression.
Its military strength was simply enor.
NOUS. Cluseret told me of his furnish
ing rations, at the time he was delegate
to the ministry Of war, to 125, 900 sol
dicrs in Paris. And the amount of war
material in possession of the commune at
the time of its collapse was prodigious.
There were 54S, 900 guns Of different
models, with saber bayonets; sc, 600
cavalry sabers of every form and descrip-
ton; $4,000 Enfield rifles; so. 900 revol-
vers-making a total of nearly 700, 600
weapons of every kind-takcn from the
hands of the communards.
Independently of the vast amount of
this particular material. the military au-
thorities of the commune had /, 700 pieces
OF cannon and mitrailleuses, which they
had robbed from the city and which they
had used with such terrible effect. Dut
what mus ever excite amazement is the
knowledge of the vast number of people
In Paris at this time who not only were
in sympathy with the commune, but who
Allotted and sustained it in its career of
crime and blood. The minority, embrac-
ing the better class of Paris. was COM
pletely cowed and subdued by this vast
lnsurrcctionary a of population.-Ex-
Minister Washburne in Scribner's,

A writer in The LonGon Daily News,
mentioning the wonderful increase Ct
flowers in England which modern 1ori.
culture has brought about, says: IRE
rembcring not oaly how few were our
English flowers originally, hut how small
and poor in form and color they were, il
is hardly exaggcration to say that the en-
tire floral wealth Of our gardens is a crca-
ton of modern skill and enterprise. Our
forefathers could 10 moro have imagined
our roses, our pansies and hyacinths, our
tulips and p-elargoniuns, our lilies and
rhododendrons, than they could have con.
ceived Of many Of the wonders and con
veniences Of modern dwellings and
towns" The old English poets were
very enthusiastic and melodious on the
subject Of flowers; but it is certain that
they had any idea Of the perfection
to which flowers could tie brought by intel
lgent cultivation.-New Orleans Times

FooTPAos ON THE STREET.

Comparatively Few Men Attacked Nova
days-A I,ulo Among Business Men.
Comparatively few men are now at
lacked by footpads on the street" said a
gentleman who for tho last twenty-five
years has made frequent business visits to
chicago. There was a time before the
lire when business men and others coming
to the city felt unsafe ON the streets, be-
cause there were frequent instances of
men being stopped oil knocked down and
robbed by v~agabonds, who as a rule made
their escape. There is less of this now
than there was years ago., because men
carry less money than they did years ago,
when there were few banks in the country
towns and no good system of exchange or
credit.
ut is q rule among business men of
this era to carry with them money enough
only for their immediate pen and a
merchant, a drover, or q trader of any
Kind coming to the city, instead of having
thousands Of dollars on his person, will
have probably less han q hundred. The
footpads have come to understand this.
and they take fewer risks, because they
mo that the returns will not be sufi-
cicnt to warrant the risk. Hundreds of
business men in Chicago make it a rule
to carry less money in their pockets than
do their employees or the average working
man. This is as much q rule of business
as is the ~depositing of cash in the bank at
a certain hour.
THE effect of the rule is seen in the
comparative freedom of the prosperous
business man from attack by thugs or
street v~agabonds. Twenty or more years
ago the very opposite was the rule. A
man doing a prosperous business felt thet
he was called upon to demonstrate the
truth of his pretensions or claims by
covert or open exhibition of a plethoric
pocketbook. Particularly Yves this the
case with men coming to the city with
out acquaintance or letters of credit.
Their pocketbooks were their certificates
of financial standing, and a man who did
not have a full pocketbook or who did
not exhibit a disposition to spend money
freely was not regarded favorably by
new business acquaintance. The mere
fondness fer display of money, the ex-
ultation in the possession of money, led
men to be q little reckless in the display
of large bills or of gold pieces, and men
with the heaviest pocketbooks-were easily
spotted by footpads." = Inter Ocean
